Higher processor speed, more memory - and the computer gets human look and feel.

The problem is that memory chips have not been keeping up with processor speed.

Your computer should have enough memory to make the most of the processor speed.

But machines with comparable features, processor speeds and memory now cost up to $500.

These decisions are based on such criteria as coupled processor speed.

Increased processor speed and performance requires other, less prominent components to keep pace.

"If there's a technology change in terms of processor speeds," he said, "then the discounts are greater."

I'm not sure why there are concerns about processor speed on this device.

The useful work that can be done with any computer depends on many factors besides the processor speed.

That really isn't nearly enough for many scientific applications where processor speed is less important than available memory.
